Medusa Queen's Sixty-Thousand-Year Skull Bone!

"This..."

Dugu Xin and Feng Yansha had never seen such a scene before. The two stood frozen in place, stunned into prolonged silence.

"Kid, I owe you my life!"

"You've given me such an enormous stroke of fortune for nothing. I'm afraid I'll never be able to repay you, Dugu Bo!"

"Before you've fully grown, I'm willing to humble myself and serve as your protector. What do you say?"

Dugu Bo opened his eyes, and they shone with a frightening brightness.

"Alright!"

Xia Mu nodded and accepted.

"I can sense that my martial soul has mutated. It seems to have evolved into the Jade-Phosphorus Serpent Emperor!"

"It looks like this dragon core has quite an extraordinary origin!"

Dugu Bo revealed his martial soul. At some point, the Jade-Phosphorus Snake behind him had evolved into the Jade-Phosphorus Serpent Emperor!

"Jade-Phosphorus Serpent Emperor?"

"Father, your martial soul evolved?"

Dugu Xin cried out in shock.

"That's right!"

"However, the poison in my body hasn't been removed. It has merely flowed into this dragon core and transformed into my life-bound pill pearl, cultivated together with my life!"

Dugu Bo nodded. As long as the soul poison was forced into the pill pearl, it would be equivalent to finding a vessel to contain the toxins.

That way, the poison in Dugu Bo's body had an outlet, and he could continue living.

"Right!"

"What did you come here for this time?"

Dugu Bo looked at Xia Mu's family and asked.

"Uncle!"

"We came to ask you to hunt soul beasts for us. Our targets are rather troublesome!"

Xia Feng spoke frankly and explained their purpose.

"What?"

"You want to hunt sixty-thousand-year soul beasts?"

"Could it be that the two of you have broken through to Soul Douluo?"

Dugu Bo was deeply surprised. A sixty-thousand-year soul beast was equivalent to a high-level Soul Sage and was not easy to hunt.

"Uncle!"

"We're both only quasi-Soul Emperors!"

Xia Feng and Liu Yuer displayed their soul rings: two yellow, two purple, and one black. Their level-sixty soul power was fully revealed as well.

"Level sixty, quasi-Soul Emperors!"

"You actually want to absorb sixty-thousand-year sixth rings? Are you insane? People will die!"

"Are you two tired of living?"

Dugu Bo rebuked them sharply.

"Uncle!"

"Our fifth rings are each twenty thousand years old, far beyond the age of ordinary soul masters' sixth rings!"

Xia Feng did not avoid the others as he spoke.

"What?"

"How is that possible!"

Dugu Xin's eyes widened after hearing this.

"The world is vast, and all manner of wonders exist!"

"Our martial souls are special, and we encountered some opportunities in our early years. Our foundations are much sturdier than ordinary people's."

"Our fourth rings are nearly ten thousand years old."

"I possess a rare body martial soul. My physical body far surpasses that of ordinary people, allowing me to absorb soul rings beyond the limit!"

"Her fourth ring came from an Azure Jade Sword Orchid, greatly increasing her spiritual power and laying a solid foundation for her absorption of a twenty-thousand-year fifth ring."

Xia Feng pointed at himself and Liu Yuer. He had finally found an excuse to conceal their secrets.

"So that's how it is!"

"Such opportunities are truly rare!"

Dugu Xin nodded. Ordinary people would find it almost impossible to encounter such a great opportunity, much less replicate it again.

"What a coincidence!"

"After taking the thousand-year Dragon Lingzhi you sent me, my martial soul underwent a beneficial mutation and evolved into the Jade-Phosphorus Azure Flood Dragon. Even my cultivation speed has improved considerably!"

"But compared to you!"

"My little cultivation is nothing worth mentioning."

Dugu Xin's soul power had now reached level forty-eight, but compared to the two of them, the gap was simply too great.

"Haha!"

"We are, after all, a few years older than you!"

"With your innate talent, by the time you reach our age, you'll at least be a quasi-Soul Emperor."

Xia Feng laughed heartily.

After Dugu Xin's martial soul mutated, his cultivation aptitude had greatly improved. In the future, he had a chance of becoming a Titled Douluo.

With that said, Xia Feng truly had not spoken wrongly.

"Haha!"

"You're right!"

"This old man can finally be said to have someone to carry on his legacy!"

Dugu Bo had not been this happy in a long time.

"Enough, enough!"

"I'll accompany you on this trip!"

"Isn't it just a sixty-thousand-year soul beast?"

"When the time comes, all it'll take is a little effort from this old man to take them down in one go!"

Dugu Bo's strength had greatly improved, and his words now carried confidence. He patted his chest and agreed to the matter.

"Uncle!"

"This time, we also plan to invite the Ye Family head!"

"With him at our side, plus the two of us, this soul-hunting trip will surely succeed at once."

A healing-type Soul Sage, a high-level Soul Sage, and two quasi-Soul Emperors—such a lineup was already enough to take down a sixty-thousand-year soul beast.

"Alright!"

"Then I'll pay the Ye Family a visit!"

"That old white-haired fellow happens to owe me a favor. Once I open my mouth, he won't have the face to refuse!"

Dugu Bo laughed. When Ye Renxin broke through to Soul Sage last time, he had owed Dugu Bo an enormous favor.

This time, it was just right for him to repay it.

The group moved like the wind, leaving as soon as they decided!

After Xia Feng and the others left, only Xia Mu and Dugu Xin's couple remained in the vast Dugu Estate!

That was right, Xia Mu had been left in the care of the Dugu Family.

This soul-hunting expedition would take a long time and carried considerable danger. Xia Feng did not dare leave Xia Mu home alone.

After all, Xia Mu was still hiding many immortal herbs on his person.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

"Xia Mu!"

"We're back!"

Xia Feng and Liu Yuer were the first to step into the Dugu Estate, followed by Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin.

"Incredible, truly incredible!"

"Such a miracle actually exists in this world!"

"A sixty-thousand-year sixth ring!"

"Even ordinary soul masters' eighth rings may not be of such an age. The two of you have a great future ahead of you."

Ye Renxin exclaimed in shock.

"Hiss, they really did it!"

Hearing this, Dugu Xin looked toward Dugu Bo. The latter gave a slight nod.

"You two are seriously monstrous!"

Dugu Xin looked at Xia Feng and Liu Yuer and blurted out those words. He was incredibly envious as well.

"After absorbing this sixty-thousand-year soul ring, my soul power broke through to level sixty-three in one leap!"

"And I gained a defensive soul skill called—Golden Plate Armor!"

"Once this soul skill is activated, it can ignore all physical attacks and comes with a damage-reflection effect!"

"Now, hitting me is the same as hitting yourself!"

Xia Feng smiled and continued.

The effects of Golden Plate Armor far surpassed ordinary damage-reflecting armor. Not only was it absurdly powerful, it was also nearly impossible to counter.

"What a monstrous soul skill!"

Everyone was shocked. This was simply too disgusting.

"My sixth soul skill is called Time Stop. The Sword of Time can halt an enemy's movements for three seconds!"

"This soul skill can also be used on myself, accelerating me!"

"Within those three seconds, I can freely travel through space. Its effect is somewhat similar to teleportation."

"My soul power has also reached level sixty-three. I'm only a little short of breaking through to level sixty-four!"

A great deal of unrefined medicinal power from immortal herbs still remained within Liu Yuer and Xia Feng's bodies.

This time, Liu Yuer had also obtained a skull bone.

This precious skull bone came from the Medusa Queen, and its age exceeded sixty thousand years!

After obtaining this soul bone, Liu Yuer did not publicize it, while Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin chose to remain silent.

Ye Renxin was a support-type soul master without offensive power, so he had no crooked thoughts about the soul bone.

As for Dugu Bo, although he was tempted, the Xia Family had shown him great kindness. He would never repay kindness with enmity.
